Meeting Description:

The theme of the 2017 seminar is “Ecological Cognition and Metaphor”. The goal
of the seminar is to relate the newest tendencies within cognitive science to
the study of metaphor and other forms of figurative language. In recent years
a new way of looking at the notion of cognition is gaining ground, often
labelled as 4E-cognition (embodied, enacted, embedded and extended cognition).
The basic claim is that cognition cannot be reserved to individual processes
in the head (and body) only. Rather, cognition is seen as “a doing”; it is
something we do in our active and explorative sense-making with the bio-social
environment. Thus, an ecological turn is on its way within cognitive science
that seeks to explore thought, feeling and action as inter-related dimensions
of an agent-environment system. The seminar will investigate these new
approaches in relation to the study of metaphor, i.e.: If cognition is no
longer to be seen as solely a property of the individual mind where does it
leave a cognitive approach to metaphor? Can we investigate metaphor as
evolving constraints on experience, thought and feeling within a distributed
cognitive system? What is the role of metaphor in the creation of the
interpersonal mind, e.g., how can metaphors be studied as affordances for
joint action and thinking?


Call for Papersː

We invite researchers from different disciplines, theoretical and
methodological backgrounds to submit abstracts of papers, themed panels or
poster presentations. These may include (but are not restricted to) studies of
metaphor and other forms of figurative language in relation to:

- 4E –cognition (embodied, enacted, embedded and extended)
- Distributed language and cognition
- Multimodality
- Social interaction
- Gesture studies
- Narrative studies
- Media and the public debate
- Emotion and affect
- Ecological psychology
- Dynamical systems theory
- Phenomenology and inter-subjectivity
 
Submission of Abstractsː

Abstracts are invited for paper presentations and posters. Abstracts should be
no more than 300 words (excluding references). Proposals for themed panels
(2-4 papers) should be no more than 400 words. All abstracts have to be
submitted via EasyChair (at
www.sdu.dk/om_sdu/institutter_centre/isk/forskning/forskningsprojekter/metnet/
raam+2017).
 
Deadline for abstract submission: December 9 2016
 
Notification of abstract acceptance or rejection: January 9, 2017
Registration for seminar participation: February – April 2017

Please note that you will have to be a member of the RaAM association in order
to attend the seminar. For further information visit:
